The Committee on Teaching About the United Nations (CTAUN) hosted the first webinar in a new series on Artificial Intelligence, examining the intersections of the United Nations, education, and AI.<\/p>\n

Held on January 24, 2026, the webinar marked the International Day of Education 2026, observed under the theme \u201cThe Power of Youth in Co-creating Education.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to UNESCO, \u201cThe International Day of Education 2026 will recognize youth and their role as agents of change in achieving inclusive and equitable quality education and building peaceful, just and inclusive societies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welcoming experts at the webinar, CTAUN Co-Chair Guillermo Reina also introduced the moderator, Ramu Damodaran, First Chief of the United Nations Academic Impact. Reina described Damodaran as someone who \u201cpersonifies the human aspect,\u201d emphasizing the importance of interpersonal relationships in the current global context.<\/p>\n

Damodaran began by paying tribute to the late Anne Marie Carlson, Past Chair of CTAUN and Chair of the NGO\/DPI Executive Committee. He described her as \u201ca key figure in the organization,\u201d noting that she was, in many ways, the \u201cwind beneath our wings\u201d for many years.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the concept of co-creation, Damodaran called it a \u201cwonderful word,\u201d adding, \u201cEach one of us is a product of co creation in a biological sense, but beyond that, there is co-creation at every level around us\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that this spirit of collective purpose animated the founding of the United Nations 80 years ago, fostering co-creation between governments and their peoples. Over time, he said, this collaboration has expanded into a broad foundation of scholarship, education, learning, and teaching that reflects CTAUN\u2019s work today.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what a wonderful thought that is that we are not here as an organization to educate alone. It\u2019s not we…<\/p>\n
